The latest figures show that there are over 500,000 spinal surgeries annually in the US. Although sometimes it's necessary to have surgery for back pain, the reality is that if you can avoid this type of invasive procedure, you're often better off.
TJ Delorie is here to make sure that patients in Olympia have a natural, non-surgical option for back problems. We've helped many people recover from back pain without the need for surgery.
There are countless reasons to avoid unnecessary medical procedures: Surgeries often result in a longer recuperation time and complications, neither of which is a desirable scenario. Fortunately, as one medical study has found, chiropractic may actually keep you out of the operating room entirely.
Research Supports Chiropractic Care Helps Avoid Back Surgery
In this study, 1,885 workers with back injuries were assessed over a three year period. When the workers first sought treatment with a surgeon, over 42 percent ended up having back surgery. For patients who saw only a chiropractor, only 1.5 percent had surgery!
These findings mean that chiropractic care can help you recover from back pain without surgical treatments.
If you live in the Olympia area, TJ Delorie can probably help you with your back pain. Give our office a call today at 724-123-1234 for more information or an appointment.
